Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 10
1 ου θελω γαρ υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι οι πατερες ημων παντες υπο την νεφελην ησαν και παντες δια της θαλασσης διηλθον
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
2 και παντες εις τον μωυσην {VAR1: εβαπτισαντο } {VAR2: εβαπτισθησαν } εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
3 και παντες {VAR1: [το αυτο] } {VAR2: το αυτο } πνευματικον βρωμα εφαγον
and all ate the same spiritual food,
4 και παντες το αυτο πνευματικον επιον πομα επινον γαρ εκ πνευματικης ακολουθουσης πετρας η πετρα δε ην ο χριστος
and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
5 αλλ ουκ εν τοις πλειοσιν αυτων ευδοκησεν ο θεος κατεστρωθησαν γαρ εν τη ερημω
but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
6 ταυτα δε τυποι ημων εγενηθησαν εις το μη ειναι ημας επιθυμητας κακων καθως κακεινοι επεθυμησαν
and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
7 μηδε ειδωλολατραι γινεσθε καθως τινες αυτων ωσπερ γεγραπται εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν
Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;
8 μηδε πορνευωμεν καθως τινες αυτων επορνευσαν και επεσαν μια ημερα εικοσι τρεις χιλιαδες
neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
9 μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον {VAR1: κυριον } {VAR2: χριστον } καθως τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων απωλλυντο
neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
10 μηδε γογγυζετε καθαπερ τινες αυτων εγογγυσαν και απωλοντο υπο του ολοθρευτου
neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 ταυτα δε τυπικως συνεβαινεν εκεινοις εγραφη δε προς νουθεσιαν ημων εις ους τα τελη των αιωνων κατηντηκεν (aiōn g165)
And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn g165)
12 ωστε ο δοκων εσταναι βλεπετω μη πεση
so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
13 πειρασμος υμας ουκ ειληφεν ει μη ανθρωπινος πιστος δε ο θεος ος ουκ εασει υμας πειρασθηναι υπερ ο δυνασθε αλλα ποιησει συν τω πειρασμω και την εκβασιν του δυνασθαι υπενεγκειν
No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
14 διοπερ αγαπητοι μου φευγετε απο της ειδωλολατριας
For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
15 ως φρονιμοις λεγω κρινατε υμεις ο φημι
as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
16 το ποτηριον της ευλογιας ο ευλογουμεν ουχι κοινωνια εστιν του αιματος του χριστου τον αρτον ον κλωμεν ουχι κοινωνια του σωματος του χριστου εστιν
The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
17 οτι εις αρτος εν σωμα οι πολλοι εσμεν οι γαρ παντες εκ του ενος αρτου μετεχομεν
Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
18 βλεπετε τον ισραηλ κατα σαρκα ουχ οι εσθιοντες τας θυσιας κοινωνοι του θυσιαστηριου εισιν
See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
19 τι ουν φημι οτι ειδωλοθυτον τι εστιν η οτι ειδωλον τι εστιν
What do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
20 αλλ οτι α θυουσιν {VAR1: [τα εθνη] } δαιμονιοις και ου θεω {VAR1: θυουσιν } {VAR2: [θυουσιν] } ου θελω δε υμας κοινωνους των δαιμονιων γινεσθαι
[No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
21 ου δυνασθε ποτηριον κυριου πινειν και ποτηριον δαιμονιων ου δυνασθε τραπεζης κυριου μετεχειν και τραπεζης δαιμονιων
You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;
22 η παραζηλουμεν τον κυριον μη ισχυροτεροι αυτου εσμεν
do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 παντα εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα συμφερει παντα εξεστιν αλλ ου παντα οικοδομει
All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
24 μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω αλλα το του ετερου
let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
25 παν το εν μακελλω πωλουμενον εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
26 του κυριου γαρ η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης
for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
27 ει τις καλει υμας των απιστων και θελετε πορευεσθαι παν το παρατιθεμενον υμιν εσθιετε μηδεν ανακρινοντες δια την συνειδησιν
and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;
28 εαν δε τις υμιν ειπη τουτο ιεροθυτον εστιν μη εσθιετε δι εκεινον τον μηνυσαντα και την συνειδησιν
and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
29 συνειδησιν δε λεγω ουχι την εαυτου αλλα την του ετερου ινα τι γαρ η ελευθερια μου κρινεται υπο αλλης συνειδησεως
and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?
30 ει εγω χαριτι μετεχω τι βλασφημουμαι υπερ ου εγω ευχαριστω
And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
31 ειτε ουν εσθιετε ειτε πινετε ειτε τι ποιειτε παντα εις δοξαν θεου ποιειτε
Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
32 απροσκοποι και ιουδαιοις γινεσθε και ελλησιν και τη εκκλησια του θεου
become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;
33 καθως καγω παντα πασιν αρεσκω μη ζητων το εμαυτου συμφορον αλλα το των πολλων ινα σωθωσιν
as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
